Bridging the Gap

by Kevin Johnson

Eric Walters isn't exactly living his best life. He works in the IT department of a hospital, where he begrudgingly interacts with his coworkers while counting the minutes until his next break. He's stuck in a rut and oblivious to nearly everything around him, which frustrates no one more than his best friend, Sara. Eric's routine is interrupted by a mysterious, silent little boy, triggering a chain of events that force Eric out of his bubble. He soon realizes nothing is as he not his job, not his boss, and certainly not his relationship with Sara. When Sara draws away from him, he worries his realization has come too late and struggles to find a way to make things right. As he pieces together his plan for redemption, he learns Sara is in the path of a devastating tragedy that could take her away from him forever.

I liked this book a lot. It's a great story of love and
friendship between co-workers. A young man that isn't sure what he wants.
Bridging the Gap is a great title for this book and I love how a horrifying
incident in real life brought this book home. I would love to see more of
this to remind us of things we should always remember. I don't want to
give anything away but I enjoyed the book very much!

Thank you so much, NetGalley, Kevin Johnson, and your publisher,
for giving me the chance to read and review this great book!

Being Canadian I did not know about that bridge and its story, the Author has smoothly incorporated it into Sara and Eric's story of two best friends. Eric is losing himself to the world around him until Trevor whose Mother is very sick comes into his life. The story has drama, twists, turns, doing what is right, and romance. I found the story to be well worth reading. This is a new Author to me. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

DNF

I didn't get past 13%. The writing is very simplistic and honestly, boring. Eric was too dumb to be believable. If my math is correct, he's mid 20's. He doesn't immediately grasp what was going on with Amy and Jeff? That's super close to TSTL territory.

Just couldn't muster any interest in the story or the characters

Thanks to Netgalley, the author and publisher for an advance copy. All opinions are strictly my own.
